Game Idea – Looking for Artist/Creative Partner (Full-Time Indie)

Hey — I’m looking for a creative partner to team up with on a weird 2D game idea. This would ideally be a full-time duo project, built from the ground up. 

The Core Idea A grotesque, strange 2D roguelike where you build creatures from modular body parts and use them to defend a statue from waves of enemies.

Visual tone: fleshy, organic, unsettling — but stylized

 Core loop: build creatures → survive waves → get new parts → repeat

Roguelike elements like randomization and replayability are likely, but design is still wide open Right now the goal is to explore and prototype the idea, not lock in details

About Me

5+ years of game dev experience

Released The Unfound Soul (free on Steam)

Currently launching my first commercial game, Sweet Slaughter

I’m a full-time indie dev focused on code and design I've learned a lot about design through finishing and releasing games, and I'm confident handling that side technically. But this isn’t about me leading the design — I want us to figure things out together and shape the vision as a team. 

I’ll take care of the coding, but design should be something we both explore and build together.

Who I’m Looking For

A 2D artist/visual designer interested in grotesque, creature-heavy visuals

Someone excited to shape the visualidentity of a strange, unique game

Ideally full-time or seriously committed to a full game project

Long-term, this would be a 50/50 revenue split

Timing

I'm still finishing Sweet Slaughter, so the experimenting and game jam phase would start around mid-August. I’m just putting this out early to start the conversation and hopefully find the right person. 

If this sounds interesting to you — and you’re into weird art, creature design, and building something original as a duo — let’s talk.

Also, just to add — while I’m really into the current creature-building roguelike idea, I’m totally open to exploring other game concepts together if we click as a team. If my idea doesn’t end up being the one we want to commit to, I’m down to keep experimenting until we find something that really clicks for both of us. For me, it’s all about finding a partner who’s creative, dedicated, and excited to build something original — whatever that ends up being.

Also, I’d love to start with some game jams or small prototypes to explore ideas and get a feel for working together before we commit to a full project

Hi, I'm already a fan of the project, if you need music or playtester and on other feedback, I'm here. But since you want specially an artist for the vizual. I will still want to play the game :D ( and I'm checking your steam game becuase I'm curious )

Hi, how are you? Good luck with your project. I've been looking around a bit at what you've done, and I have a question I'd appreciate if you could answer. I saw that IGN posted about your game, Sweet Slaughter, and also posted a trailer on the GameTrailers channel and YT. How can you advertise there? Is there a cost?

Hi! I'm doing well, thank you — hope you're doing great too. I work with "Humba Qube"; they handle all of our marketing. So unfortunately, I'm not entirely sure how they managed to pull that off
